28th March - Zhiyin and I went together with my landlady, her boyfriend and her daughter to Rothenburg which is along the Romantic Road. We went to Rothenburg city to buy some souvenirs and my landlady introduced the Cuckoo Clocks in Rothenburg to me as I've mentioned to her before that I wanted to get 1 home. I did not buy though. It was too expensive and I needed my mum's opinions. Probably getting it from Heidelberg, nearer to Mosbach after my mum chooses it. After which, we headed to my landlady's boyfriend's friend house for high tea. They were an old couple living together in a typical german house. We were warmly welcomed with delicious pastries and coffee prepared nicely on the table. From their facial expressions, I could feel their happiness. They owned a VolksWagen & Audi Car showhouse. We made a tour around before we went back to their house again for the Second High Tea! It's like an hour after our first one, they claimed it wasn't dinner. Zhi Yin and I nearly fainted, we were so full after pieces of cakes. Thus, we just had the Ham and bread as our dinner. We left after awhile with the lady of the house coming out to bade goodbye. At first, she waited patiently before my landlady's boyfriend drove off. She then stood at the same spot waving till the car has gone far. At that moment, I felt like dropping off the car and go back to the house.
You guys must be wondering why my landlady has a boyfriend when she is like near to her sixties. Her husband died 5 years ago. I realised a person still living at this age has nothing much to do and it's only love that would made one carry on living. So, don't ever use another view to look at these old folks dating. (unless the old person is only looking for lust) Now, I have a deeper understanding to this word, love.
29th March - The day where I guessed all 4-season countries had to adjust their time an hour forward. The first time ever I'm experiencing an hour disappearing in my life. Haha! Mosbach on this particular day has Spring Market and surprisingly, like suddenly all the people staying in Mosbach went to the city. Dinner for Bengsch family was quite a success since all the food is cleared and gotten good comments. Though there's only Bouis (Charlotte's bro) and Laura (Charlotte's sis), I tried to cook what I know. With the help of Zhi Yin and Wesley (Zhiyin's friend), we managed to cook Wanton soup, Honey chicken wings, Cereal prawns (with the help of my bro's instant packet) and our own created fried (spaghetti) noodles. All tasted nice, I can finally proved my ability to cook!
30th March - Sylvia's Birthday! I internet sms her but I dunno if she has received it. I realised I missed out 3 important birthdays during my OSEP trip, Jovena's, Dear's and Sylvia's. I din realise the first few months of the year has so many events!
The whole class went for adventure park and we were splitted into 2 teams. We have 3 stages from lowest to the highest elements. The last 2 were jumping and holding onto the rod and giant swing. These were optional. With encouragements, I played the Giant Swing but I was so frightened. I cried while I was being pulled up to the sky. I don't know why I was so afriad, I din have the courage to do anything. Probably it was after a great fall (not actually a fall) during the second elements. The see-saw-looking thing hanging in the air and I fly up to the sky because the other person at the other end was too heavy. I literally banged onto the woods and got myself injured on both of my thigh. You can see the bump even if I'm wearing the jeans. The worst ever bruise I've ever gotten. Well, if you wanna see how scary the Giant Swing is, just go to my Facebook. I've uploaded it. Btw, I looked dead in the video because I was crying! Hah, enjoy the video!
31st March - There was an excursion to Audi Car Factory and we get to see the manufacturing and test non-moving cars. It was cool! As you guys know, Germany is profession in Mechanism. Almost every Germans wish will be working in Mechanism industry which I'm totally not into it. I only know how to admire the outer design of the car.
1st April - Pow Wow! It means intercultural exchange. We did a presentation on Singapore which we covered the history, singlish and food. I taught Singlish to them and till now, they still use them. Haha! While preparing the slides, I realised I don't know how to teach Singlish because it comes out naturally, like "lah", "lor", "leh". When they asked for the definitions, I totally forgot about it! And, I'm starting to forget how to use them. I found a few videos about Singlish and it's so funny! But, the internationals couldn't understand. To them, it's totally another new language. While doing the ppt, I realised how much I love Singapore as my homeland.
2nd April - Pierick (French) drove Zhiyin, Lauren (English), Yan (Russian) and I to Colmar, France. We just walked around the small city and took pictures. Had a chat on a table while we went to visit Pierrick's sister's restaurant. Surprisingly, I bought nothing. I merely enjoyed the visit with internationals. I like France, everywhere seems so pretty and I love their designs of the infrastructures. I even love their French words, it looks so classy and sounds nice. I'm determined to learn French after Japanese. Comment vas tu? Enseigne moi le Français!
Even their Post Box is as cute!
7th April - We cooked Chinese Dinner for our class of 30 people. A few of them did not come but it was still great. We prepared a lot of food and all of them said it was nice! We could even open a Chinese Restaurant in Mosbach. We probably will close down in Singapore. Haha! I never thought our cooking skills are quite good. I din really eat as I was so full after cooking and I think it's a good way to slim down! Lol! I felt as full after cooking when before, we were still thinking how to save the food for ourselves.
9th April - Pierrick drove Zhiyin, Annemari and I to a place in Mosbach where there is beautiful sceneries to take photos since the weather is so good. I took LOTS of pictures and because of the sunny weather, the pictures seem so pretty with my lousy camera. Camwhore time!
Only 2 pictures are from the DSLR (:
